Overview:
This powerful eight-input, eight-track digital audio recorder is designed for production sound with superb audio quality. Its eight full-featured inputs accept either microphone or line-level signals, provide 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, and offer peak limiters for microphone inputs and fully adjustable high-pass filters. Extensive routing flexibility allows each input to be routed to mixed tracks or to isolated tracks.
The unit has three options for recording media: internal 160 GB SATA hard drive, CompactFlash media with UDMA support, or an external FireWire hard drive or DVD-RAM (with bus powering). Any or all of these can be used simultaneously. Additionally, when connected to Mac OS or Windows computers with high-speed USB or FireWire 400/800, the 788T functions as a high-speed mass storage device.
To simplify interconnection with mixers and cameras with AES3 connectivity, the 788T has eight channels of balanced AES3 digital input and six channels of balanced AES3 output. It can be clocked from external word clock or from video sync, has a high-accuracy time code reader/generator on board, and includes auto-record features to chase external rec-run video sources. To simplify metadata entry, the 788T accepts USB keyboards, and keyboard shortcuts can be programmed to control menu items and machine transport, simplifying any production sound setup.
